Air Conditioning Compressor

From the 1972 Chevrolet Chassis Overhaul Manual: Passenger Cars and Trucks 10–30

Overhaul of the air conditioning compressor shared by all 1972 Chevrolet cars and light trucks, whose differences lie only in brackets, pulleys, connectors and capacity. Minor repair procedures cover the hub and drive plate, pulley and bearing, coil housing and shaft seal; major procedures cover the pressure relief valve, superheat switch, rear head, oil pump and valve assemblies and the internal mechanism, followed by leak testing and special tools.
